Speaking about the allegations against Barcelona claiming they paid Spanish referee Enrique Negreira during his time at the club, Cesc Fabregas told Cadena SER: “I had never heard anything like that when I was there.
“But I don’t think that the players have to get involved because that is something that is far above us. I can’t tell you much, because I don’t know how the story goes, but as a footballer I can tell you that it was a surprise for me.
“I never received any referee report. But they took away a league title from me against Atlético Madrid.
“I was close to the play and they disallowed a goal that was legal, because I didn’t touch the ball, Juanfran touched it.”
Fabregas played for the Blaugrana during 2011-2014, a period during which it has been alleged that the club paid money to the referee.
Barca are unlikely to face any major sanctions or point deductions from La Liga due to the allegations against them, as they try to prove their innocence in the matter.
Xavi’s side currently remain focused on ending the season strongly by winning the La Liga and Copa Del Rey titles.
